An attempted theft of a landscaper’s equipment last week has local police departments investigating that incident as well as a rash of similar burglaries in the past two weeks.

The most recent theft took place last Tuesday afternoon, when authorities in Ridgewood and Glen Rock unsuccessfully pursued an individual observed trying to steal a backpack leaf blower from a trailer. The trailer had been parked and left unattended along Norwood Avenue in Glen Rock while landscapers worked at nearby properties.

According to police, the chase began at around 12:30 p.m. when landscapers saw an unknown man attempting to remove a leaf blower from the company vehicle. The suspect fled without the blower after one of the workers confronted him.

A K-9 unit from the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the pursuit of the suspect, but the individual managed to elude apprehension. Authorities in Glen Rock are investigating the case, according to Ridgewood Detective Chris McDowell.

Ridgewood detectives were already probing at least five other theft or attempted theft cases, with each of those incidents reported within a 10-day period late last month by various landscaping companies.

  1. Obviously, it’s Obama’s fault

  2. No description of the subject by the Record?
    9/10 times when they consciously fail to report that… well… come to your own conclusions.
